Heh. I didn't vote in these GotY awards for GB (hadn't played enough games), but like Carnifex said, not much competition really.

It's perhaps a little confusing but for GB indie and main RPGotY aren't absolutely separated. The indie portion is there to ensure we do still honor indies when mainstream just offers too much to acknowledge them in that portion. But sometimes, in a year like this, the indies beat the AAAs.
